"why?"Because Santorum was heading to a loss in his home state of Pennsylvania. Losing his home state (again) would destroy any chances he could have in future races.
By pulling out now, he preserves his chances in future races. Rick is still young.

Rick who?
And tell me again why he was even a consideration?
